I literally just spit some drink out my nose when I opened this thread and saw this.
~Thank you.~
A spit-take a day keeps the brain worm away.
You're welcome.
I know this is really serious but the title makes it sound like they're some kind of invading alien army approaching from the ocean, and every day they draw closer
It's so great to be at the end of human cooperation and civilization. I'm so excited for when antibiotics stop working because of factory farming. /s
Antibiotics are woke, probably.
Stop spreading panic.
While NWS can infect humans—and those cases are grisly—it is relatively rare.
The US has halted imports of cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico to try to keep the parasite out. Officials have also set up nearly 8,000 traps across Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Among 13,000 screening samples, so far, none have turned up NWS.
Maybe he meant end of cooperation because in times past, we would have unified against this threat and kept it at bay, but now we’re all fucked and everything is on fire so nobody has time to deal with the situation?
In times past we would have blamed it on the spaniards.
You do know who is running the government right now right?
Ok, then fucking panic. Jesus Christ.
You do realize the “/s” denotes they are being sarcastic.

Did RFK cough it out? Or does it spread anally? That way tRump would already have it!
However, in the 1950s, eradication efforts using sterile male flies and livestock monitoring began to push the fly population southward.
Then..
"It nearly wiped out our cattle industry before; we need to act forcefully now. That’s why I insist we start using pesticide bait immediately."
Is there a reason we wouldn't use sterile male flies before it even gets here? Or, you know, just keep them in international circulation?
Edit: Honest question, not snarky. I'm ignorant here.
Grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure I saw this exact “wasteful science,” or at least this type of it, under attack by this administration/the DOGE machete, so that’d be why. Inability to think/connect dots and adamant anti science dogma.
Nah truth be told the factories that produce the sterile screwworms, in Panama and Mexico, didn't have the capacity to breed enough sterile screwworms. They were producing like 1m/month and they actually needed 3m/month to stay ahead of it, something like that. Now production is ramping up but the invasion has been faster.
Purposefully tearing everything down
The science includes gender ("male flies"), I could absolutely see the program getting cut just for that.
Wouldn’t even have to be that. It’s just the type of thing they love to target like the studying shrimp on a treadmill John Oliver recently exposed they love to trot out. The more ridiculous they can make it sound in a one liner, the worse they can paint it as government waste and stupid science.
Indiscriminate chopping always leads to unexpected results
Wiping out cattle industry would have an absolutely gigantic & immediate effect on lowering greenhouse gas emissions & with that the catastrophic climate changes.
The worm is coming from inside the [White] House
Federal Fish and wildlife are killing off endangered wolves in new mexico to protect cattle. Sincerely as a person who appreciates the planet we live on I hope cattle ranchers have the life they voted for!
I’ll take a screw worms over brain worms any day of the week.
So move RFK 100 miles away.
As someone living in what was once the historical range of screwworms, it was nice knowing you all.
Look for draining or enlarging wounds, as well as signs of discomfort. Also look for screwworm larvae (maggots) and eggs in or around body openings, such as the nose, ears, and genitalia, or the navel of newborn animals.
While NWS can infect humans—and those cases are grisly—it is relatively rare.
May it meet many republicans
What is this the new African killer bee scare? They're tracing it by the mile?
I would not underestimate this particular threat. Under a more competent administration I would at least worry slightly less. But the levels of incompetence in positions of power have me genuinely worried. This is a real threat that we have carefully managed since the Nixon administration (IIRC). If it makes its way here it will wreak havoc on livestock.
You probably don't have anything to fear, I think 12 people got it in the '72 outbreak, but it can be brutal for livestock.
In practice it means more expensive meat. Only numbers I can find is 10% to 30% increase in price, depending on how well the government handles this. And other countries doing import bans even more.
Thanks Obama
I suppose I can keep not buying beef because it's too expensive.
I hear Texans are having to cut down to three or four steaks a day.
Truly the end times are upon us.
You jest, but we might just have us some brisket riots.
Oh yeah I remember that old horror movie about the killer bees. The Swarm. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Is that the one where the bees cause a nuclear meltdown in Houston or something?
They cause a nuclear explosion even though the power plant should only be able to go into meltdown.
Edit the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So8Ut2evqko
Holy crap 🤣
The US governmemt has this. Jist run RFK jr out there. He will eat them all up.
dont worry, the ivermectin will protect the people
In fact, that's exactly what it is for. That and mites, but the mites adapt quickly.
of course, partially why I brought it up. but a decent amount of people willing to take that ivermectin live at the border.
god: "Ima give it screw shape for the extra fuck you"
Ship them to the fascist regime.
